We had five terrific nights in the Balule Game Reserve, hosted by an absolutely exceptional guide and manager, Gavin Adcock, and his delightful wife, Bel.Not only was the accommodation comfortable and welcoming, but each day was a real adventure. We loved the rhythm of our days...the dawn starts, the intriguing up close animal viewings morning and night, and the lovely... More

It was a great place to stay! I was only able to stay 2 nights. The food, staff and room were wow. The game drive was spectacular. We were able to see all of the big 5, including a leopard on a night drive. I would love and hope to go back!! More

Drifters is a truly beautiful place to stay, tastefully appointed, spotlessly clean, fabulous amenities and amazing friendly knowledgeable staff. Our guide was super, in fact we cant imagine being able to top our experiences with him. The wine list is impressive and really great value, however, it is with regret I must inform you fellow travellers.... If you are a... More

The lodge is of 3*-star standard, accommodation in tent-style rooms on raised platforms overlooking a... More

We stayed at Drifters for 3 nights. This was the third game park we stayed in on our holiday. It was the most remote but genuine African experience. Our tents were 5 star. The food utterly delicious, mainly prepared by Shannan. Our ranger Anu and his spotter Charles couldn't do enough for us. They even found us the elusive Leopard.... More

This is Drifters' flagship property and quite a little gem [16 guests maximum]. It was excellent value for money. All the permanent tented accommodations overlook a waterhole. The tents had en suites and an attached outdoor shower. The pool was very welcome, especially as the heat built up [the rains were coming]. The common area had a nice, rustic feel... More
